Unused Characters#

To do:
Some characters that were unused in CBT1 are still in CBT2. Check if there were any changes to them.

Diona
Qiqi
Sayu
Yaoyao

Also check Tartaglia's model, which may have been unused. Ganyu is also unused in CBT2, and has slightly different textures.

Most of the unused characters found in CBT1 were either fully implemented or removed in CBT2. Since then, there were also a few new additions and changes to the lineup of unused characters.

Albedo#

Playable as of v1.2.

Albedo is classified as a bow character instead of a sword character, being named "Avatar_Boy_Bow_Albedo", internally. Had this remained, he would have been the first Geo Bow character, long before Gorou was released.

His hair and eyes are brighter.
The sides of his bangs are thinner.
Vision is on the left side of his coat, and is much larger. It was moved to the collar of his shirt upon release.
Larger chains on his coat
Different pattern on the back of his coat.

Ganyu#

Kamisato Ayaka#

Although Ayaka was not available to play as in CBT2, miHoYo still included her assets, and updated her textures to give her sheer shorts over her panties. Ultimately, her shorts would be changed to be mostly opaque in v2.0.

Kate#

Kate's character icon was updated to be higher resolution and show more of her body. It is still based on nudeheroine_type_01 from CBT1 (NSFW warning).

Her model and party icon still exist too, and are unchanged from CBT1.
